Despite its shortcomings, Canada is not an economic basket case​

    So how is little PP going to bring down the price of houses especially when most house owners really like high prices when they retire and sell?

    He is going to cut taxes and program and supports to low income earners that will cut jobs.

    He has made it clear that he prefers to support well off Canadians with reducing the capital gains inclusion rate for gains over $250,000.

    Just like Trump cut taxes for the rich.

    So how does this square with his lie he is going to take of low income low net worth Canadians?

      From the article rum rocks posted:

      Canada doesn’t , what is has is an illusion of an economy. Selling houses to each other back and forth isn’t a very smart economic strategy.

      Hits the nail on the head.
      Why anyone would celebrate this illusion of an economy is beyond me.

      Apparently forage is not going to defend his economic theory that selling houses to each other will increase our economic productivity.

        Chuck, for future reference, when you are responding to the voices in your head, it would be much appreciated if you could post both sides of the conversation so we know the background of the argument you are having with yourself. When you only post one side and it has no relevance to the topic at hand, it is confusing.
        Out of the blue you started talking about Pierre Pollievre and capital gains tax.
        I get the impression you are losing an argument with yourself about the leader of the opposition, and you decided this was the best thread to post a response to the voices in your head. But for those of us who missed the rest of the conversation, can you fill us in?

            Typical squirrely Sask ndp. I will give Chuck credit though for calling bs on earth muffins nonsense on other social media. The position he takes here in supposed anonymity is a far cry different when an actual name and identity is associated.

              If Chuck can’t see the writing on the wall, he is just plain dense. It can’t be clearer that the charts posted. He can’t be that dense!

                Canada and Texas each produce about 5.6 MBD of oil.

                The world production is about 100 MBD + for easy figuring.

                Canada has the 3rd largest reserves in the world but only produces 5.6% of world production.

                All the oil produced in the world has a buyer.

                To some it would appear we may have a competitive advantage in that market?

                  Like to see chuck refute this chart. This shows the exodus of capital from Canada in the last decade. Everyone is investing in the US.

                    Bell is a good example, they shovel money hard to keep competitors out of their club.
